Community Partnerships

Our Community Partnership Program is designed to create partnerships with businesses and organizations in our community. Collaboration and working together creates the greatest impact on improving healthcare for our community.

Community Partnership Benefits

Becoming a community partner means you will create a beneficial partnership with the Saugeen Memorial Hospital Foundation. The Foundation benefits from your donation and your business or organization enjoys brand exposure in the community while demonstrating to your customers and clients your philanthropic values and commitment to local healthcare.

We provide ongoing support and recognition for all our Community Partners by sharing the story of your partnership with the Foundation through our website and social media. Photo opportunities are also arranged with the media to announce your partnership and when you make any cheque presentations.

If you are the original donor and creator of the challenge then the challenge tends to carry your name through ongoing media coverage i.e. “The XYZ Company $2,000 challenge for healthcare has another new donation ……
